Horror Movie Survival Guide

Marion’s Innocence. Julia’s Corruption.

“We are into survival.”

Horror Movie Survival Guide is a weekly podcast where two unlikely gorehounds delve into their Horror Movie Notebook from college, in which they meticulously kept track of every film they watched in the horror movie section of their old local video store, in their quest to learn how to survive, and to ensure they end up as “the final girl”.

Join Julia and Marion as they revisit the classic and obscure horror VHS they viewed and logged in their notebook, breaking each movie down one by one, geeking out over all the ghastly minutia, and ultimately illuminating the path to survival.

Julia Marchese is an actor and filmmaker who made it her goal her senior year of college to corrupt her best friend and prove to her the glory of gory. Marion Kerr, an actor and writer, heartily accepted the challenge and together that year they watched hundreds of horror films, logged every film they watched, attended horror conventions and Halloween horror nights, and were often asked “What are nice girls like you doing watching films like these?”

They’ve racked up hundreds of hours watching good films, bad films, terrible films and a few films so putrid they had to turn them off. They like Tommy Jarvis from Friday 4 & 5, but not 6, think the saddest (and longest?) vampire death belongs to Evil Ed from Fright Night and worship Radish from Final Exam as the greatest horror movie character of all time. Also, Julia was once covered in a bucket of blood. True story!
